Mobile first approach 

Mobile-first is a design strategy that aims to prioritize the mobile user experience. By implementing this approach, we have achieved numerous benefits that contribute to website optimization. By focusing on mobile user experience, we have been able to ensure that our application is user-friendly and works optimally on all devices. This leads to a better user experience and increases customer satisfaction. In addition, we have achieved fast loading times by optimizing file size and resources, for example. This ensures a smooth user experience, especially on mobile devices with a poor network connection. Also, by optimizing the website for mobile devices, a better ranking in the search results can be achieved.

Strapi Headless CMS 

One of the client's requirements was to implement a popular and widely used content management system, our choice was Strapi. Strapi makes it possible to provide content for different channels as it is a headless CMS that separates the presentation layer from the content management. The Strapi platform is based on Node.js and offers a scalable architecture so that the system can easily be scaled horizontally or vertically. Strapi's user interface is simple yet powerful, making it easy to create, edit and publish content without the need for technical expertise. The open source platform, good integration with existing technologies and frameworks, as well as the comprehensive security architecture were further criteria for our selection. 

Nuxt.js / Vue.js frontend 

Nuxt.js is a framework for the development of Vue.js-based frontends. Nuxt.js is based on the conventional folder structure of Vue.js and offers an easy way to organize our files in a clear and intuitive folder structure. This makes the code easier to read and enables efficient development. Nuxt.js enables efficient development and maintenance as it provides many useful features and tools to make our work easier. Server-side rendering (SSR): Nuxt.js also provides the option of server-side rendering, which allows us to achieve better search engine optimization (SEO). In addition, the initial rendering of the page is performed from the server, which results in faster loading times and thus ensures a better user experience.

Darkmode 

In keeping with the digital theme, we developed the design in a light and a dark mode to offer users individual design options and increase convenience. A dark mode in the user interface design has several advantages. Firstly, it is easier on the eyes, as a dark background causes less glare and therefore reduces eye strain. In addition, a dark mode can also be more energy-efficient, especially for devices with OLED displays, as dark pixels consume less energy than bright ones. The use of a dark mode can therefore also help to extend the battery life of mobile devices.
